If you are an apprentice it is easy to focus on the fact that you are there to learn, and to forget that you are also an employee. This means that you have all the usual rights of an employee including:

paid holidays

rest breaks

sick pay

limited working hours

This information is intended to give you some idea of your rights and your employer’s duties and responsibilities.
